Just back from MIL and its white over here...roads, pavements and panels(I'm assuming as everything else is)
Anyhow, did manage 0.3 O's on me SSW today, not sure what tomorrow will bring because the thermostat on the car was showing -1C on way home so expecting not a lot

9C and raining here in the SW. More likely to get heat stroke than snow

Oh! I need this clarifying now as I'm confused.
I've used the rating of the panels in my "O" calculations (3920w), not the rated output of the inverter (3600w).
Which should I be using Oscargrouch?

Can you blow some of that 9C air up here Handy Andy? We've got glorious sunshine and not a watt being generated

You're not missing much. 5C here today and lots of cloud, so while I'm generating a few watts, I'm not generating very many at all.
I'm certainly using watts keeping warm though
